CBS 844ins68, MTHFR TT677 and EPCR 4031ins23 genotypes in patients with deep-vein thrombosis.

The role of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) TT677 genotype, cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) 844ins68 mutation and endothelial cell protein C receptor (EPCR) 4031ins23 in the development of deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) was investigated in 300 consecutive DVT patients and 410 healthy blood donors. MTHFR TT677 was found in 40 (13.3%) patients and in 59 (14.
